Domenic Romanello ᾿19, a junior animal behavior, ecology, and conservation (ABEC) and anthropology dual major, is participating in a unique research project that involves two of the world’s least studied non-human primates: the iconic big-eyed bushbabies, also known as galagos.
The study, led by a team from The University of Colorado at Boulder, compares the smaller galago, which is the size of a human hand, to the larger thick-tailed galago, which is cat-sized. Researchers want to better understand how body size may affect their ability to deal with challenging temperature environment.
